Getting a quote from Checkmate Movers
Fill out the form with your move date, current address, destination, and a rough sense of what’s moving, and the office will follow up to schedule either a phone estimate or an in-home walkthrough. For anything bigger than a studio, we’d rather walk the rooms with you — that’s where Jamal actually works out load order, furniture placement, and building access, not something anyone can guess accurately over the phone.
Local jobs run hourly: $145/hr for two movers, $185/hr for three, $225/hr for four, plus $50/hr for each mover beyond that — and your crew size gets sized to the job at the walkthrough, not padded. A $175 deposit locks in your date and applies straight to the final invoice.
Long-distance moves out of Illinois get a full written estimate after the walkthrough, covering the whole route on our own trucks with one crew and one load plan, not a broker handoff halfway there.
